Liked picking a less obvious country in Farflung? Try the map games you can play here first, or choose a trivia game that gives uncommon answers more points.

Globle and Draw the Border keep the map but score different skills. Cosmillion and Krillion keep the rare-answer decision but widen the topics. For Farflung itself, the original guide explains scoring, the daily reset and practice.
